It maybe an older version of FPLaunch. Grab the latest one and try again. http://www.vpforums....showtopic=23367

 

To compile , I think you need version L of autohotkey, not hard to find. In the autohotkey program location there is an app called AHK2EXE. You run this file and load in your edited FPLaunch and compile to an Exe.

 

Re-read what you posted and you're double clicking the exe to get the quicklaunch gui. You need to right click the fplaunch.ahk and edit with text editor, but the above will still help you.

Thanks for the help chepas, but Im pretty much lost on how to compile the fplaunch.

 I have the fplaunch.afk file and I can edit it, and I added the lines you suggested. I am not sure if this is the right area tho, Its a huge notepad.......as follows....

 

CODE MAP
    This is short list of all sections and functions in this script
    so that you can find and customize them quickly
    GET PARAMATERS AND SET HOTKEYS
        reads input parameters from command line
    GET AND CHECK PATHS
        gets settings from ini files
        calculates window coordinates
        hides taskbar, cursor and desktop
    RUN SYSTEM
       ; PinEmHi Leaderboard - Add dummy file named PinEmHi.vpt in tables folder
     
    if (tablename = "PinEmHi") {
     
    RunWait, START PINemHi_Leaderboard FS.exe, Max
     
    Process, WaitClose, START PINemHi_Leaderboard FS.exe
    WinWaitClose, START PINemHi_Leaderboard FS.exe ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI
    Sleep, 2000
    WinActivate, HyperPin ahk_class ThunderRT6FormDC
    ExitApp
    }
        FUTURE PINBALL, VISUAL PINBALL
            commands for launching vp and fp
    WHEN EMULATOR FINISHES OR IF LAUNCH EXE FAILS
        error msg
        key remaps for Slamit pinball
    KILL COMMANDS
        this is where all our procedures are!
    Procedures:
        CloseProcess - kills process - not used
        QuickLaunch - launching gui
        Loading screen

.......thats just the part of the fplaunch.ahk  that I edited.  I save it, but I am not sure if any of it is right/valid.  When I right click the fplaunch.ahk  there is no compile button. When I load hyperpin and wheel to pinemhi, it says there is no table pinemhi.fpt.  I cant load the pinemhi table.  It says basically that my path (C:/program files/vpinmame/tables/pinemhi.fpt) cant be found.  I suppose that is because the fplaunch.ahk was never compiled, but I really dont know.  I might just manually add all my vpt tables anyways and use pinemhi leaderboard  separately as this  scripting/coding is  way out of my league,  (Normally all the files are vpt, so why is it asking for fpt?), or is that standard for fplaunch because of futurepinballlaunch?.    Still appreciate all the gurus of scripting and what they have brought to the enjoyment of pinball.....and the fabulous frontend.  .I cant get over the raspberry glow of Avatar when you have to hit the captive ball, cant remember her name.... just mesmerizing...peace...A

You're very close but you have added the code into the very top part, which is the help section.

 

Search for RUN SYSTEM twice and it should take you to where you need to add it.

 #4... and rising

Damn Dave , that was quick to rise to the top, unfortunately i didn't get to see the real deal.
Xio congrats on regaining your title ( don't know for how long as dave probably wants his championships belt back )
We've got a battle going on...

@LMTR14 the podium is in sight

I believe the problem with some old tables´ scores bugging out is known already (Fathom, Black Pyramid, and now also Rolling Stones), so when will they be removed or fixed...?

 

btw I like the medals update :-)

I'm afraid they can't really be fixed.
It's a problem when you exit when you're in the middle of a game that it will give a wrong score.

Didn't want to remove them as they also are in the challenges.
But will have to do something about it, so i'll probably remove them with the next update.

The medals were actually an idea from blackpredator72 , it took a little bit of work but got it working..
Glad you like the medals.
Only thing i have to do is the medals on the tablescores themselves.

does BK 2000 roll over at 100 mil points? dedrok stopping at 99.562.070 doesn´t seem like a coincidence to me.

 

can´t find the support topic for the table so I thought I might as well post the question here...

I for sure can't tell as i'm getting nowhere near that number haha

[LMTR14]

edit: post got messed up

1. Black Knight DOES roll over at 100 mil

2. I went back and scored a slightly lower score (than 100 mil) to become no. 1, back to back with my other game. I´m either a hero or a moron. LOL

So I haven't played in an eternity, and I decide to check out my scores. How in the hell am I still #1 on X-Files? I recently played about four X-Files games (didn't have PINemHi running, though) and almost beat my high score - it shouldn't be that hard to beat it.

I vote hero as that score is already huge...

Ced has a higher score but in FS (not entirely the same)

Did you notice the badges btw, and 25 more kiddie challenges ?
Maybe a reason to play some more games

[DnaDisturber]

It's still on my todo list.

Also adding twister , made by xio !

Haven't got much time lately to work on it...but who knows maybe in a couple of days
